Throwback Monday! I can’t wait to take my faux locs out, get back to my braid outs, and start my 90 day curls and coils challenge. I had huge success with my previous challenge and I want to see how far my hair will go. Who’d like to join my challenge and get 40% off my absolute favorite hair vitamins?

Reading has always brought me immense joy. I don’t know if it’s the process of absorbing new thoughts and ideas, or being lost in another world that made me happy.

I didn’t have access to books growing up. The schools I went to had small libraries, or none at all. But I remember reading and re-reading the few novels that we had in our house, alternating that with reading through the Bible at one point 😁
.
Lately though, I’ve been blessed by people giving me or lending me their books. And my latest read is @calledtocreate by Jordan Raynor.

His testimony right at the beginning about wrestling with the idea of connecting purpose to his work got me teary-eyed because I can identify with the internal battle of trying to figure out if what you are doing for work is in line with eternal purposes. Because I have seen what doing work for the sake of work does to people (no judgement though).

I’m excited to dive into the book this week, and read the stories of the people that lead a life of impact, no matter what it is they were doing with their lives.

The book is available for preorder on Amazon, due to be released Nov 7, so look it up there, or DM me if you need a direct link.

I used to procrastinate, BADLY. I was one of those who said "yea I know I procrastinate, but that's because I work better under pressure." It took for me to have a child for me to understand that there are better ways to do things. And truth be told, that's such a poor excuse to put off your goals. It's true that I can get a job done pretty well in a shorts time notice, but I, by no means work better under pressure. It was easy for me to say that when that was the only way I operated, but man... once I organized and followed my tasks promptly, I was able to see things MUCH clearer. It made me question why I always waited until the last minute to do things. It also made me realize just how much time I, in fact, do have in each day. There were a lot of goals that I put off because I couldn't see how I was going to do it, but once I took out some paper, wrote down all my options, and choose one-BOOM. That's when it became vivid. That was all I needed-was to create a plan, and see my vision before my very own eyes. I don't put anything off anymore, I just wake up and go get it. And if you know me and you're thinking "Get what? Aren't you a stay at home mom?". Yes hunny, I am🙋🏽, which means I have to not only find a way to keep my motivation peaking, but it also means that I have to grind different. Some people can dedicate their entire 24 hours to their grind, and I respect that, but I however cannot. Staying home to better care for my family is a selfless role in all aspects, but I won't use it as an excuse for me to be lazy or not chase my dreams. It just makes me work smarter. I realize that I have to fit my grind in between diaper changes, I have to fit my grind in between nap times, I have to fit my grind in between playtime, I have to fit my grind in between cooking meals, I have to fit my grind in between cleaning, but I. WON'T. STOP. GRINDING. Because one day my dreams are going to manifest and my hard work will come to fruition. But until that day, I recognize the importance of planning and preparing for that moment, which is why I will never be comfortable with procrastinating again. (Continued in comments)
